The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our online HER enquiry form.

Full Description

This farm is recorded on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map <1> as noted during a 2005 survey of West Berkshire's historic farmsteads <2>. It is also named on Rocque's 18th century map <3>, but is likely to have existed as a farmstead from medieval times as part of Poughley Priory. Some of the late 19th century plan form is extant in the 21st century, and may perhaps also be structures identified on the 1813 enclosure map <4>. The clay tiled buildings are likely to be former shelter sheds or perhaps stables and stores <5>.
